Did You Know?? 

water ring

 

Fairview Inn housekeeping staff has learned many different techniques over the years and are willing to share a few secrets with you:

 

 

Water rings on a table that you can't get rid of? Try a mayonnaise rub on them- let it sit overnight and wipe clean the next day. Voila, no rings!

Best cleaner for carpet stains - resolve.

Best window cleaner - vinegar, water and fresh lemon juice. Use a paper towel or newspaper, never a rag.
